Sourdough Mushroom Patty Melt

---

Servings: 1

Ingredients:

• 2 Sourdough Bread Slices

• 1 Ground Beef Patty

• Dijon Mustard

• Mayo

• Sliced Cheddar Cheese (goat's milk cheddar cheese is a great choice)

• 2-3 Mushrooms (I used brown button mushrooms, but ideally I would suggest a wild mushroom).

• 1/4 White Onion

• Handful fresh Arugula

• Cherry Tomatoes (optional, for side pairing)

• Cornichon Pickles (optional, for side pairing)

• Cooking oil (ie., Ghee, or Olive Oil)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Mushrooms and Onions:

• Thinly slice the mushrooms and cut the onions into strips. Set aside.

2. Cook the Beef Patty:

• Cook the ground beef patty to your preferred level of doneness, seasoning it with salt and pepper to taste.

• When the patty is nearly done, place slices of cheddar cheese on top to melt.

3. Saute the Mushrooms and Onions:

• In a separate pan, heat cooking oil over medium heat.

• Add the sliced mushrooms and onions to the pan.

• Sauté until the mushrooms are soft and the onions are caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

4. Toast the Sourdough Bread:

• Toast slices of sourdough bread in a toaster oven or a regular toaster until they are golden brown.

5. Assemble the Patty Melt:

• On one side of the toasted sourdough bread, spread a layer of Dijon mustard.

• Place the cooked beef patty with melted cheddar on top.

• Add the sautéed mushroom and onion mixture on top of the patty.

• Place a handful of fresh arugula over the mushrooms and onions.

• Spread a layer of mayo on the other side of the toasted sourdough bread.

• Place this mayo-covered slice on top of the arugula, creating a sandwich.

6. Serve with Optional Sides:

• Optionally, serve the Sourdough Mushroom Patty Melt with cherry tomatoes and cornichon pickles as side pairings.

• Slice the sandwich in half if desired, and enjoy!
